Answer:
Area of polygon B is larger than the area of Polygon A by 25 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
The simplest way of finding this would be to draw a rough image of polygon A and B.
Let's say you drew Polygon A and B as rectangles. Since the scale factor is 5, the dimensions of the sides of polygon B would be 5 times as that of the dimensions of polygon A.
if you label the dimensions of Polygon A as length 2cm and width as 1cm, its area would be 2 square centimetres.
now keeping the scale factor of 5 in mind, multiply the length and the width by 5. you will get the length of polygon B as 10cm and width as 5cm. the area of polygon B becomes 50 square centimetres.
once you have done this, you will realise that the area of polygon B is 25 times the area of polygon A.
Hope this helped:)
